They would be if they read it. Every complaint I've seen about how the law is obviously going to be misapplied is called out specifically in the text in a way that makes it a non-issue.

I've read it. It's a wonderfully written document on basic human rights and inter-government interaction. As regulation I can code to, it's a goddamn clusterfuck. It's like someone tried to invent TCP/IP but in the middle there's a paragraph that says something like "appropriate networking stuff happens here and data is reliably moved around!".

laws often describes the effect it ought to have, but don't mention how!

They went to great effort to make it readable and not full of legalese, you are really only doing yourself a disservice to not at least try.
